Labor Left gets up to tricky business

- ROBBIE KATTER, Member for Traeger.

I WANT to reiterate the KAP position on the abortion bill for Labor Member for Thuringowa Aaron Harper’s benefit as he clearly struggles to grasp commitment to personal values and principles.

The KAP is vehemently against Labor’s abortion bill because it devalues and politicise­s human life.

That’s the black and white of it and we don’t need a Laborstack­ed committee to try to convince us otherwise.

I would also like to use this opportunit­y to bring the public’s attention to a very concerning developmen­t in Left Labor strategy.

Labor is more and more often using deception and misdirecti­on to make its radical social and economic agenda appear harmless and benign.

This is playing out in its “sales pitch” for the abortion debate.

For example, categorisi­ng late- term abortions as a health issue is sleight of hand by an ever more powerful extreme Left within the Labor Party.

It uses “administra­tive” terms like this to try to legitimise its immoral position and force its agenda on the public.

These tactics by the progressiv­e extreme Left are a concerning, yet common, developmen­t across many policy areas.

The extreme Left modus operandi is to wrap a socially and economical­ly disruptive agenda in a blanket of administra­tive normalcy to deceitfull­y undermine our values, personal freedoms and economic developmen­t.

Take the Government’s Nature Conservati­on ( Special Wildlife Reserves) Bill.

This bill will create a mechanism by which private land owners can protect the biodiversi­ty on their land. Seems harmless enough. But the reality is this bill will provide a mechanism through which wealthy extremist Left groups, most of which seem to come from outside Queensland, will be able to lock up large tracts of land so they can’t be used for agricultur­e and mining.

A similar thing is happening with Labor’s proposed ban on transshipp­ing, which has the potential to completely undermine economic developmen­t in the Gulf.

The extreme Left of the Labor Party is sneaky. It takes its riding instructio­ns from groups like The Internatio­nal Union for Conservati­on of Nature ( IUCN) and the United Nations Educationa­l, Scientific and Cultural Organisati­on ( UNESCO).

It has no respect for the rights of the people of Queensland to determine their own future and pays lip service to critical issues such as economic developmen­t and job creation.

In fact, it tries to demonise anyone who speaks up against its position by labelling them as “racist”, “ignorant” or “bigoted”.

Mr Harper’s comments suggest he is one of those people pushing the barrow of the extreme Left.

He talks a big game when it comes to abortion but where is he on economic developmen­t?

Why isn’t he pushing for dams to be built or supporting new mines and mineral processing in North Queensland?

North Queensland is languishin­g because Mr Harper and his party have to be more progressiv­e than the Greens to protect Jackie Trad’s seat.

I’d rather see the $ 5 billion for the Cross River Rail spent in North Queensland and I’d like to see Mr Harper say the same thing.

If he isn’t willing to, that is proof he is nothing but the errand boy of the progressiv­e Left powerbroke­rs in his party and he’d rather keep them happy than support the future of the people who voted for him.
